I'm Alex Bell
Teacher, Director, Coach, Clown
I have a worked at several of the UK's top drama schools and conservatories, including Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, East 15, LAMDA, Italia Conti, Rose Bruford, Identity and Fourth Monkey.
I have a multi discipline practise to my teaching, which has led to me teaching a variety of practises, including Uta Hagen, Michael Chekhov and Clown. Additionally I have been the second marker for Italia Conti on a number of your courses, such as BA Top Up, BA Musical Theatre and MA in Creative Arts Practice/Creative Arts Education
My research is interested in play, neurodiversity and inclusivity with actor training. This has led me delivering a TED Talk at RCSSD in 2019 Ted X and I have written a PHD Proposal, which is currently titled 'How elements of tabletop gaming might be used to create a more inclusive environment in actor training', which I am hoping to get funding for
